HB 2768 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to the offense of driving while intoxicated

HB 2768 modifies the legal penalties for driving while intoxicated by adjusting the classification of offenses based on factors such as the driver's prior record, the presence of minors in the vehicle, and the severity of any resulting injury or death. The bill establishes a tiered sentencing structure where penalties range from misdemeanors for first-time offenders to higher-level felonies for repeat offenders or those who cause serious harm while driving. Additionally, the legislation restricts the ability of courts to grant suspended sentences or fines for repeat offenders and mandates specific minimum jail terms, community service, or alcohol monitoring for those convicted of multiple offenses.
